    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Crocosmia 'Limpopo' has coral orange flowers with a thin orange line down the middle of each petal on purplish stems to 2-3 feet high. Lush, mid green, upright, lance-shaped leaves create a nice vertical accent. The blooms attract hummingbirds and are excellent for cutting. Full to part sun in average to moist well-drained soil.

    Relatively new on the scene, 'Limpopo' embellishes any late summer vignette when its tight clusters of wide-open, pretty coral-hued flowers with sunlit yellow throats unfurl. Pointed, green foliar blades form a dashing upright clump that offsets the uniquely colored blooms and their arching bronze-toned stems.
